Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0952384A2] The protective mask is intended for works where a face and eye protection of the operator against injuries is needed, particularly welding, to protect the eyes and the skin of the operator against light and mechanic effects, as well as from molten metal splashes during the operation process. A characteristic feature is that the position of the eye plate (3) is adjusted by mandible movements. By moving the mandible a device for turning (6) adjusts the eye plate (3) in the required position so that each following action of the mandible places the plate (3) in the contrary position, closing it for eye protection or opening it for free vision. The mask sets completely free the hands of the operator while working. The protective mask comprises a protection shell (1) with observation cut-outs (2) covered by the safety eye plate (3) attached to an axis (4) having an eccentric lever (5) for turning up on one of its ends, being the axis (4) connected to the shell (1). It also coprises a device (6) for turning the safety eye plate (3) having an under-mandible-lever (7) operated by the mandible of the worker. The device (6) is connected to the axis (4). The mask comprises also a device for fixing to the head of the operator connected to the shell (1), provided with clamps (9) supported by the concha cartilage, as well as adjustable rest (12), connected to the shell (1) in the area of the operator's nostrils. A fixing clip (13) with holders (14) for fixing to the upper part of the nose could be additionally provided, being the holders (14) connected with a spring (16) for keeping tight. The shell (1) could be made by at least two parts: upper (20) and lower (21), flexibly connected to each other so that a mutual adjustment in the desired position according to the face size could be made. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
